Attempt a critical summary of the novel A Grain of Wheat

While focussing on those traumatic times which the Kenyans faced during their struggle for free&m, Ngugi also hints at the shape of things to come in independent Kenya. Although people danced and sung on the streets on the Uhuru day, showering praise on ‘Jomo and Kaggia and Oginga’ and although they ‘recalled Waiyaki’s heroic deeds’, they were not unaware of their dream of independent Kenya as a Sharnba for all turning sour.

The way their M.P. grabs Mr. Burton’s Green Hill Farm, denying Gikonyo and other villagers a chance for a cooperative farm, is symbolic of the ensuring struggle between the people and their leaders in new Kenya- -a theme which Ngugi was to explore in his next novel Petals of Blood.
